Tomme des Croquants *Quarter Wheel*

Tomme des Croquants, Quarter Wheel

Delight in the unique flavors of Tomme des Croquants. A small French wheel washed with walnut liqueur, with layers of walnut flavor and a touch of maple running through the paste.

Why you'll love it

• Walnut liqueur wash — the wheel is washed with a walnut liqueur, which is where the nuttiness in the rind and paste comes from.
• Eat the rind — the rind carries a good deal of the sweetness, so this is a cheese to eat whole rather than trim.
• Nutty and faintly sweet — walnut up front with a maple sweetness behind it, getting stronger as the piece warms.
• Quarter wheel, about 200 g — sold as a quarter of the small wheel, roughly 200 grams.
• Pasteurized cow's milk — a French tomme from pasteurized cow's milk, mild enough for a crowd.

How to enjoy Serve it with bread, sliced apple or a handful of walnuts, and let it come to room temperature first. A glass of dry cider or an amber wine brings out the maple note.

A small, unusual tomme that tastes like the walnut liqueur it was washed with, and one people always ask about.
